I don't get a vote for the Willie Ray Award, but the WB RB is the frontrunner in my book. He doesn't have the threat of a dual back system. He is there by himself against a stacked line & still produces. He gave Mighty Manvel trouble.  How this kid doesn't have the UT's, Oregon's, A&M's etc..  beating down his door also is pure Bull_______.  Most of these scouting services are a Joke. I'll leave it at that because some read this and take offense. If you do get offended, I aint hard to find. ;)

To further make my point, Warrick Dunn, who played at Catholic High in Baton Rouge, did not receive many offers as a RB.  Even LSU would only offer him as a DB, which is why he did not go to LSU.  FSU offered him as a RB, and as they say... The rest is history.  Dunn was the first RB drafted in the 1st round in 1997.  A lot of colleges felt pretty silly for not offering him as a RB, especially LSU.

Tell your son keep working and keep believing.  All he needs is one school to believe in him and I feel certain that is going to happen.

@AthleticSupporter - Jock, Point Well Taken!!! :) I am just lost when they talk about size like 6 ft or 6'2 is your prototypical back and when I look at durability it is the short compact backs that last the longest! My boy stood on side of Malcolm Brown at a Texas Junior Day Invite last year and I was totally blown away with how close they where in height and in size. The all time leading rusher stands about 5'9 and I know this to be true because I met Michael Irvin once and he was literally a half of an inch taller than me and I am 6'1. When you looked on the field at those 2 together "The Playmaker" make Emmitt look like "Minnie Me" on TV. I guess what I am trying to say is there are not a lot of Adrian Petersons out there but more of the Darrin Sproles, Warrick Dunn's, Ray Rice's, MJD's, and Christian Michaels in the league. And I have picture's in my phone of C Mike this past offseason in Walmart taking a picture with my youngest child and he was not that much taller than my baby boy. Demarcus is still taller than man youngest. Thanks for the compliments and knowledge!!! :D
